Just when life bloomed full of promise, multiple sclerosis attacked Jo's body. How would she cope with this erratic disease? How could she overcome her husband's betrayal? Unveiling her struggles to... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Many years ago, I met Jo at a church retreat where she was an inspirational speaker and shared her love of the Lord through her singing. I was impressed with her deep faith and obrious joy in spite of the painful trials she had endured. There were times through the years that I wondered how she was and when I, myself was diagnosed with MS, two years ago, my curiosity about how she was grew. A good friend, living in the same county as Jo, clipped a newspaper article about Jo, thinking it might be of interest to me. I was so surprised and delighted to know that Jo had written a book. I promptly ordered it and read it. It was as I knew it would be-filled with honesty, love, pain and joy. Jo is able to capture with words raw emotions that both captivate and encourage the reader. Thank you Jo for being the example to all of us of what it means to "soar unafraid." Paula Boyd, Lemon Grove CA
Faith is sometimes a hard thing to do
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Faith is sometimes a hard thing to do. But once you go thru the issue, it's like, why did I ever doubt? In this book, it has helped me not to want to give up praying or hoping. Even though I've been praying for years for certain things and people, I get tired and want to quit. God has placed this book in my life To tell me to just hang on, God is there. This Life story has given me hope that in God's time, His plan will come about and that I need to keep on Praying and hoping and keeping the faith strong in God, especially thru the times that I feel the most vulnerable to the world. This is a trully inspiring reading. I read sometimes into the middle of the night. I truly am excited about Soaring Unafraid and I want to share it with as many people as possible.
Review from a Man's Viewpoint
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Jo's life models how to trust God in the midst of pain and heartache and even how to accept them. Her life and testimony have encouraged countless women dealing with their own personal tragedies, but I was moved by the transformation of her formerly emotionally scarred husband, Ray. He has shown me how to be a godly husband and father. Terrific book!

This book testifies to the grace of God that works powerfully in a life of a woman who is diagnosed with MS and how it does not make her bitter but makes her thankful and even more hopeful in God who saves us from our sins. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to know how the grace of God works and gives life and makes people a blessing to others. Truly, in him we will Soar like eagles. Jo, thanks for writing such a wonderful book for us to read. I would say God's grace has truly carried Jo on eagles wings." Crossing the Red Sea
Review by Mother of Daughter with MS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
How encouraging, uplifting and challenging for me, the mother of a precious daughter diagnosed with MS at age 26, to read Jo Franz story, "Soar Unafriad". Jo writes so openly of her challenges with Multiple Sclerosis and its impact on her life, her family, and her mobility. She shares her innermost thoughts, as she struggles each day with this disease and yet allows God's grace to faithfully lead her moment by moment. She never gives up! She enjoys life to the fullest with each step in the day. I am challenged to do the same and "Soar Unfraid".
